' Application filed March'l3, 1897. Serial No. 627,381. (No model.)

To all whom it .may concern:

Be it known that I, J OHN P. S. LYONS, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented With the above and other objects in view the invention finally consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more specifically described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Describing the invention in detail, referwoe is had tothe accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification',and wherein like letters of reference indicatesimilar parts throughout the several views,in which- Figure 1 is an end elevation showing the parts in position. Fig. 2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3 is a side elevation showing the supporting-arm in dotted lines to remove the pole.

Referring now to the drawings, a designates the frame of a window, I) the curtainpole, carrying pins c,provided with heads d,

to prevent rings e from coming off. f denotes the leg of one bracket having lateral extensions 9. Said extensions are so arranged as to leave a space between the extensions. Hinged to said extensions are arms h, supporting the curtain-pole. Secured to said bracket between the extensions are pulleys i, engaging ropes is, secured to the curtain-pole. Secured to the rings by suitable fastening means are curtains Z. The brackets are secured to the window-frame in any suitable manner through the screw-holes m.

The operation is as follows: The bracket is fastened by screws or any suitable means to the window-frame, the supporting-arm h occupying the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3. The ropes carrying the pole are then adjusted over the pulleys. By exerting a downward pressure on the ropes the pole engages the hinged supporting-arm h, and swings it to a position shown inFigs. 2 and 3.

When the pole is to be removed, the curtain is pulled in the direction away from the window, causing the supporting-arm to swing on its pivot and assume theposition shown in Fig. 3, when the weight of the curtain and pole will operate the ropes and allow them to descend.

It will be noted that various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of my invention.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a bracket,'a body portion provided with laterally-extending arms, space between said arms, pulleys secured between said arms, pivoted swinging supports secured to the outer end of each of the arms, and provided with cut-away portions, in combination with a pole adapted to fit in said cut-away portions, and provided'with pins havingheads, rings carried by said pole, ropes or chains carried by the pole and supported by the pulleys, substantially as shown and described.

2. In a curtain-bracket, a body portion having laterally-extending arms, pulleys secured between the arms of said lateral extensions, pivoted swinging supports secured to the outer end of each arm, in combination with a curtain-pole, means for holding said pole in engagement with said supports, and means for securing said brackets to the windowframe, substantially as shown and described.

'In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

JOHN P. S. LYONS.
